Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

As Yuan Cui was brought up, she was teased by Young Master Zhen numerous times in the process and drank a lot of water.

When she recovered, Zhan Difei looked at her with concern and apologised, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake earlier and thought that you were my friend. So I wanted to play a prank on you, but I never expected that you would be frightened."

The woman beside him was also very cooperative and nodded, "Young Master Zhen mistook you for me."

Although Yuan Cui was a smart person, she was still fooled by Young Master Zhen and his companions. Propping up her body, she gave a complicated glance at Zhen Difei and replied, "I'm fine; it's nothing."

"Thank you for your understanding!" Zhen Difei immediately replied. Thereafter, he briefly pondered before he took off the ring on his ring finger and pushed it into Yuan Cui's hands. "This is my compensation for you!"

Looking at it, Yuan Cui was at a loss before all the depression she felt earlier disappeared. This was a heavy ring, it's at least 30g! Not to mention the gems embedded on it would cost at least ¥20,000. Isn't this man a little too generous?

"I can't accept it; it's too expensive!" Yuan Cui might be greedy, but she knew that there's nothing free in this world.

"I insist! Otherwise, I will feel guilty." Zhen Difei shoved the ring in Yuan Cui's hand before he took out a metallic name card. "If you feel any discomfort, you can give me a call. I won't sherk from my responsibility. But I have some matters to do now, so I will be taking my leave first."

After that, he left with his two companions with a helpless expression.

"Young Master Zhen, that ring must be costly, right? Why did you give it to her?" One of his female companions enviously asked.

"I've spent at least ten times the cost of the ring on both of you, right?" Zhen Difei slapped on her butt and continued, "I can do whatever I want, and I don't like to be questioned! Oh, right! I also need the two of you to help me later!"

After that, he whispered into the ear of his companion, which the female companion's expression slightly changed before she nodded with a smile. "Young Master Zhen, you're really shameless. We've misunderstood you earlier."

Holding onto the ring, Yuan Cui had completely lost her mood to swim. Although she choked on water earlier, she had recovered by now, so she headed for the changing room. Coincidentally, she bumped into the two companions of Zhen Difei, who were changing as well, revealing their prideful figures as they headed for the showers.

Letting out a sigh, Yuan Cui felt that Young Master Zhen was really fortunate to have such beauties around him.

Placing the ring in the closet, she headed for the shower. When she rubbed on her sensitive spot, her heart suddenly throbbed. Recalling how Zhen Difei took advantage of her earlier, she felt panicky. Could it be that Young Master Zhen has taken a fancy to me?

After all, the reason he gave for mistaking her for someone else was too implausible, and it's more like a method to get to know her.

As water sprinkled down on her body, she felt her legs going soft and she held back the moan that was about to escape from her mouth.

When she finished her shower and headed for the teahouse, Du Bing also finished and came over in excitement while boasting, "I achieved three strikes earlier, and many people cheered for me!"

"Look at how happy you've become!" Yuan Cui rolled her eyes at her husband.

Seeing Yuan Cui's rosy complexion, Du Bing asked, "You just showered?"

"Who doesn't need to shower after swimming? Can you have some common sense? Sometimes, it's impossible to converse with you." Yuan Cui spoke as if it was to be expected as a matter of course.

Thereafter, she looked somewhat pissed and headed to where Gu Rushan and the rest were. However, Du Bing misunderstood that she wasn't happy because he did not go swimming with her earlier, which left him nervous.

The moment she sat down, she unhappily said, "I've already finished swimming, and Su Tao still isn't here? Putting on airs, huh?"

Even Gu Daoshan didn't seem happy as he knocked on the table twice and said, "Let's not wait for him anymore and return home. We've traveled half the day today, and I'm also exhausted."

But just when everyone was about to leave, they saw Ni Jingqiu and Su Tao coming over in a hurry.

"I'm sorry to have left everyone waiting!" Su Tao explained with a smile.

"You're the nobility here, and we're supposed to wait for you!" Gu Daoshan snorted.

Knowing that Gu Daoshan was pissed, Su Tao immediately glanced at Gu Rushan. Although they're just acting, he still had to do it well.

Catching on his signal, Gu Rushan immediately said, "Dad, why don't you have some more Pu'er tea?"

Gu Rushan knew that her father liked tea. Even if he didn't show any expression, she knew that he was happy that he had the opportunity to try all sorts of expensive tea today. Although he would often receive tea leaves as gifts, they're mostly placed in his collection. Why would he dare to drink them?

Seeing that her uncle sat back down, Yuan Cui still did not let the matter go.

"It's rare for uncle to come, and you're always missing. It's no wonder why he's unhappy."

Seeing how rude Yuan Cui was being, Ni Jingqiu sneaked a peek at Su Tao.

When Ni Jingqiu saw the wry smile on Su Tao's lips, she found it hilarious in her heart. For some reason, she's especially fond of seeing Su Tao being beaten.

But despite her words, Yuan Cui's impression of Su Tao was no longer that terrible. After all, she knew that it was because of Su Tao that she got the opportunity to experience this sort of luxurious clubhouse and even received an expensive ring.

Furthermore, Su Tao must be capable for him to get to know someone like Ni Jingqiu.

So after a brief pondering, she changed the topic, "I heard from Rushan that you were once Su Tao's patient, which is why you're treating him so well?"

Although Ni Jingqiu did not have a good impression of Yuan Cui, she still politely answered, "Right now, our relationship is no longer that of a patient and physician; we're partners!"

"Partners?" Yuan Cui exclaimed in shock.

"Su Tao is preparing to open a pharmacy branch in Beijing, and I've decided to invest in it." Ni Jingqiu spoke the truth. "Furthermore, I've already found the shop front, and I'm planning to have the contract signed today. Even Su Tao didn't know about it. I meant for it to be a surprise since the two elders are here today."

Looking at Ni Jingqiu, Su Tao was a little surprised. After all, he did not expect that Ni Jingqiu would have such a swift execution ability.

A branch in Beijing?

All of a sudden, Yuan Cui's heart started to fall. Doesn't that mean that Su Tao has several other pharmacies as well?

Thus, her impression of Su Tao started to soar through the roof, from someone without any house and money to a successful young man.

Even Zhang Fen had heard the meaning behind those words, which she moved to Gu Daoshan and whispered in her husband's ears, which her husband's brows loosened up.

When she noticed the change of mood amongst her family, Gu Rushan started to feel empty in her heart. After all, her relationship with Su Tao was an act, and it'd be troublesome if her parents acknowledged their relationship. The best outcome for her was that her parents neither agree nor disagree with their relationship. This way, it would be easier to explain when she and Su Tao 'officially' break up.

"Little Su, how many pharmacies do you have?" Zhang Fen curiously asked.

"The main shop is located in Hanzhou City, and I also have another branch in He City. Aside from that, I'm also planning to open three to four branches soon." Su Tao truthfully replied.

"Oh?" Suppressing the shock in her heart, Zhang Fen praised, "You're doing pretty well!"

"Are your parents managing those pharmacies?" Yuan Cui asked again.

There's a difference between a founder and successor, after all. To have such achievements at such a young age, Yuan Cui felt that he probably benefited from his parent's efforts.

"I received the pharmacy from my grandfather, who has already passed away last year." Su Tao replied without any expression.

Yuan Cui didn't find her words unreasonable and continued, "Then, will you let Rushan manage the household after the two of you are married?"

At this moment, Gu Rushan finally couldn't hold herself back anymore and flared up, "Sister-in-Law, what are you saying?"

Letting out a deep sigh, Yuan Cui replied, "Rushan, you're not getting any younger, and we have to be more realistic. You have to get these matters sorted out before your marriage. Both uncle and aunty aren't satisfied with Su Tao, and he has to take out some sincerity. If he's willing to let you manage them after the two of you get married, then they might agree to this relationship. As women, we can't lower ourselves and be bullied."

Sneaking a glance at Su Tao, Ni Jingqiu was pondering how Su Tao would deal with this matter.

If she were in Su Tao's position, she would've given Yuan Cui two bitch slaps by now.

"It's fine. It's not a big deal to me, anyway!" Su Tao swiftly replied after a brief pause.

He and Gu Rushan weren't really marrying, and they're just a fake couple. So there's no harm for him to give out empty promises.

Since Yuan Cui had no idea what's going through Su Tao's mind, she widened her eyes with disbelief. But soon after, she recovered from the shock and went on, "Words mean nothing, so you have to write a pledge!"

At this moment, Gu Rushan finally raged out, "Sister-in-Law, you're purposely trying to stir shit!"

However, both Zhang Fen and Gu Daoshan did not speak, since they did not find anything wrong with it. On the contrary, they considered it to be a test for their future Son-in-Law. If Su Tao was willing to give a written pledge, then they could neglect his age and allow him to be in a relationship with their daughter.

"Let's write it, then!" Su Tao did not feel pressured since it's just an empty promise. So he might as well go along with it.

On the other hand, Gu Rushan looked at Su Tao with a complicated light. But she could feel the thoughts in Su Tao's mind that the latter did not really consider her as his girlfriend, and she was the one that had fallen for him while he's just acting. Thus, it was unavoidable for her to be riddled with complicated emotions in her heart.

Taking out a paper and pen from his medical box, Su Tao swiftly wrote down the pledge.

If Gu Rushan and I get married, I am willing to hand the authority in the household to her.

—Su Tao.

But just when Gu Rushan wanted to tear up the paper, Yuan Cui was a step faster than her and smiled. "Uncle, Aunty, you have to keep this well for it to be implemented in the future!"

Initially, Yuan Cui was in a ridiculing mood since she felt that Gu Rushan's boyfriend paled in comparison to her husband, Du Bing. But she never expected that the scenario would flip all of a sudden. In just the blink of an eye, Su Tao had become someone with assets, so she tried to sabotage the marriage.

But she never imagined that Su Tao was actually willing to take a step back. Thus, she no longer had any idea about how to sabotage their relationship!

Truth be told, she was just putting on a strong front at this moment, since she wasn't feeling great in her heart. She suffered a series of slaps on her face, and Su Tao had defeated her from psychology alone.

Didn't you suspect that I'm a poor bloke? Well, I have a few pharmacies under my name!

Didn't you suspect me for being a successor that only basks in my parents' glory? Well, I'm the founder!

Didn't you suspect that my feelings for Gu Rushan aren't real? I can write down a pledge to prove that my love for Gu Rushan has no boundaries!

Even if Gu Rushan knew that this was all an act, she still couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart. How she wished for all of this to be real!

Although Zhang Fen also felt that it was inappropriate to take it this far when they're not even talking about marriage yet, she still stowed the note since it concerns her daughter's future happiness.

All of a sudden, a commotion rang out and Zhen Difei walked over with his two companions from earlier, along with several security guards.

They're definitely here with ill motives!
